Mike, I have a minor quibble with your column. It appears to me that you’ve left out some things KF said yesterday after the game in order to suit the angle of your piece. The quote I’m referring to specifically is this one: “They were more ready to play emotionally, more ready to play cleaner, [...]

If people decide to switch to Mediacom from Dish Network over this Sinclair dispute, they haven’t been paying close attention over the past few years. Sinclair up to their old tricks again.

I’m in for $10. Great work on this Marc and all who donated/purchased the items.

Kristi, I don’t have a link for you, but the Daily Iowan had a really nice piece last Saturday about the family that drives the Hawkeye truck to all the away games. That would give you a little understanding that you’re looking for, I think. And some nice pics as well. I imagine it’s on [...]

God bless John Hayden Fry. This is fantastic Mike, thanks for posting it.

I’m confused. The sub-header says the truck rolled several times, but the article states one or two times. Several is more than two, correct?

I learned things.

Head coach in waiting, perhaps?

Good luck, Coach.

Great piece, Mike. Do you think that there’s anyone in the world that understands Gable more than Tom Brands, and vice-versa? I know an argument could be made for wives, parents, etc. But those people weren’t in the wrestling room, and that seems to account for so much of who these guys are. It would [...]

I would like to bid $25 on this item. (There, Wordpress, was that long enough?)

University Heights forbids commercial vendors, but there are always vendors set up in front of the door to the U-Heights Police Department. I don’t get it.

Paul brings up a very interesting point. Two other articles involving assault have comments closed, but this one has comments open. If The Gazette wants to have a forum, have a well-moderated forum. If it doesn’t, close the comments entirely.

This is just sad.

On ballon?

Copy editors weep.

Ok, it answers the question that you say the readers raised. What question is answered by the paragraphs that detail the golf course, monkeys, exotic plants, etc? How is that relevant? I understand this is an AP story by Ryan Foley, but some of this was unnecessary fodder.

Very well said, Tim. “We don’t judge the fact that there was a train wreck, but we know that people LOVE to watch and talk about it, so here you go.” Page views page views page views. Sad.

Very sorry, Mike. I surely didn’t mean to lower the discourse of the blog. I thought we were going for the low bar.

I nominate Seth Gorney’s yoga pose.

You’re disgusting.

I hear you’ve got a Saints windbreaker, maybe that could be the prize.
